Pinging FB fan page

Is it pointless to ping a fanpge or does it hurt/help?

I would say it totally pointless :) You need to ping ur backlinks , new content etc..

Facebook is a popular media and the FB pages are indexed/updated by search engines frequently, so there is no point to ping it. Ping urls of low traffic sites only if you want.

Yes, I also feel that there is no need to ping FB pages because they are well regarded by search engines. They are frequently indexed by search engines so you don't need to ping it.

You don't need to ping facebook fanpage because when any one like your page it get update automatically therefore you should ping your backlinks and blogs not facebook page however you should increase your figure of likes to show your popularity on facebook.

I would ping them. It is good idea to ping EVERY link you have.

Definitely! It is a good idea to ping facebook fanpage. I will try it definitely. Thanks for the idea.

i think pinging on facebook is not greate effect for SERP

i would not ping them Facebook and twitter are well tracked by Google and other search engines so pointless.

i even think that it can hurt your fan page because if you ping a lot it's not normal for Google. Better ping your back links to the fan page and nothing more that way it's more effective.

ping doesn't hurt, but not needed, imo, fb is so authoritized.
